Great idea. With some simple transcripts and text-based search, it could be a great searchable tome of information one day.

Just called in and talked to Chap. I wanted to make sure he got to see the idea and know about before it got lost. He immediately made the jump to transcripts and text-based stuff.

Chap: Recording calls with skype forum post: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=477581

Good luck!

Thanks for the call!

I love the idea of sharing recorded calls to help more people.
